Transductores

Transductores is a project on collective pedagogies coordinated by Javier Rodrigo and Antonio Collados. Its creation stems from Aulabierta, a platform for self-managing knowledge and the development of higher-education projects of Granada University (Spain).

Antonio Collados is a visual artist, co-founder of Aulabierta, researcher and professor at the Department of Sculpture of Granada University. Javier Rodrigo is an educator and art researcher. Both share an interest in topics dealing with cultural policies, collaborative art practices, art and education processes in public spaces, and long-term network endeavors.

At MDE11 Transductores will be focusing on the question: Where does pedagogical knowledge stand in MDE11? Where does work with educators, mediators, and schools, with their brands of knowledge and positions, stand on collaborating or working with artists?

The project views pedagogical reflection as a matter of collaborative practice between various players: schools that are already active in the Museo de Antioquia’s schoolroom-workshop project, and professors and students at universities that deal with education and public-art practices. In this way schools are being reactivated as an alternative public sphere through the use of three instruments:

– Pedagogical seminar-lab acting as a “camp”
– Exhibition of resources and cases dealing with education and public space.
– Multiplication of projects in centers of education and schools on the basis of the results of the camp and already active experiences in education and public space in Medellín.

Transductores is a cultural project that seeks to investigate and activate initiatives in which art practices, political intervention and education are flexibly intertwined through the efforts of interdisciplinary collectives, which are understood as public spheres, i.e., as spaces for cultural production and democratic transformation.
